Counterfeit Bonds.

Interest coupon No. 2 Of bond No. 1920, pur-
porting to be one of the bonds of this county,
was received by the First National Bank Of this
city few days since for collection. The cou-
pom was duly presented to Treasurer Serum
gard for payment, but that official declined to
pay it, for the reason that no such bond had
ever been given by this county. The coupon
is as follows:
$1,000 $1,000
The county Of Ramsey, Territory Of Dakota,
will pay to the holder hereof seventy dollars
on the 10th day OF March, 1857, at the First
National Bank OF St. Paul, Mimi, on presen-
tation hereof, being interest due on bond Of
said county No. 1920. j.. w. JACKSON,
Chairman Board of Commissioners.
R. T. Ro0CK, Clerk Of Ramsey county.
j. w. Jackson and B. T. Roock are unknown
to official fame in this county. No bonds were
ever signed by jackson or Roock, aud it is
quite clear that the alleged bond is counterfeit
and very neat and successful counterfeit. 1t
is probably one Of a series of county and school
district bond counterieits that have been ip-
posed upon various unsuspecting capitalists.
The holder of the bond from which the coupon
above mentioned was torn Is believed to be 9

Somebody has taken the trouble to telegraph
from Washington denying that Dakota pays
net revenue to the postoffice department. Well,
who imagined she did? There are but ton
states in the Union that pay such revenue,
and these are states containing large cities.
Take away Chicago and Illinois will show =
balance on the debit side. 1t costs $500, 900
annually in excess Of the receipts to supply In
diana with mail, and nearly $4O0, 900 to furnish
Iowa. Ohio is behind full million annually.
Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska are short
from SSO0,000 to 100000 year each; who
expects Dakota to reverse all human expert
ence and pay revenue before she escapes
from her swaddling clothes? This, however,
may be said, that she has large number Of
Offices that pay the government much more
than 1t costs to sustain them. The deficiency

Our Minnesota exchanges of last week had
the laws passed ut the recent session of the
legislature OF that state printed in supplement,
and the people have chance to faniliarize
Themselves with the laws which they are ex-
pected to obey, lawyers aud public officials
have the laws to guide them till they can be
printed in book form and there is no excuse
for any one pleading ignorance Of the acts of
their lawmakers. But here in Dakota we will
plod along in blissful ignorance Of what tile
legislature has done because that body was too
intent on grinding axes to pass law which
would have resulted in tho people knowing
within thirty days what laws had been passed
In the maantime, enough money will be paid
out by individuals for certified copies Of laws
to have paid for the publication Of the whole.
